CIGAR-ROLLING MACH IN E.

SPECIFICATIONforming part of Letters Patent No. 422,861, dated March 4,1890.

Application filed July 30, 1889. Serial No. 319,196. (No model.)

The accompanying drawings illustrate the invention.

Figure 1 isa side elevation, partly in section. Fig. 2 is a frontelevation, and Fig. 3 is a plan of the machine according to thisinvention. Figs. 4, 5, and (5 are longitudinal sections of thewrapping-table with the carriage in different positions.

To the table A there is fixed the iron plate G, shaped as represented insection, these two parts forming together the wrapping-table. The plateG is provided in the middle, over its whole width, with an inlet orgroove 1). Over the wrapping-table there rests thegirth, or theso-called wrapping-band F, which is fastened to the table at as and 3Fig. 4, but being of such length as to lie over the roller cl and in thegroove 1). On the lower and front part of the plate G there. are twoguideways or tracks E E, between which runs the carriage D, carried bythe fourwheels r. The carriage is set in lnOlllOILbY means of a lever c,which is connected with the treadle O by means of the rod 0', and issetin motion by the foot of the workman.

To regulate the movement of the carriage, a loop H is attached under thetable, Figs. 1 and 2, in which a rod 7a, which is flexibly connected bymeans of the jointmto the lever 0, moves up and down. On the rod thereare two movable checks i i, by which the stroke of the rod, and therebythe length of the course of the carriage, which is in connection withthe push-rod it through the lever c, is regulated. The upper end of thelever 0 ends in the fork s, which catches the pushing-pin t. The objectof the carriage, as willbe explained farther'on, is the rolling up andat the same time carrying forward of the material taken hold of by thewrapping-belt. At the front end of the carriage on each side, extendingforward, are fixed the two arms J .l', carrying the roller d, and alsothe brush a, which extend across the wrapping-table. The arms .1 arecurved from their forward ends upwardly to the roller (1. They areslotted and receive in said slots the ends of the brush-block a, the.arrangement being such that when the brush is in its forward position itwill be just above the table-top, as in Fig. at. The brush is designedto bear upon the wrapper during the operation of making the cigar forthe purpose of cleaning the same, smoothing itout, and properlycontrolling the wrapping movement thereof. The slots 00 in the arms Jextend to near the roller d, and when the brush is in position at therear ends of these slots it will lie close to or bear slightly upon theapron about the roller (Z. This position 1s regulated by the adjustablestops f in the slots. The elastic bands 0 are employed to move the brushtoward the roller d as the car,- riage moves forward, and for thepurpose of retaining the brush in its forward position against theaction of the elastic bands two pins g are employed, which engage withthe ends of the brush-block and hold the brush at the forward ends ofthe arms, as in Figs. 1 and 4:, this being the normal position of theparts while the bunch is being placed and before the operation ofrolling begins. On the front part of the wrapping-table, whichis bentdown, there are fitted the springs n 'n, which retain the finishedwrapped material when the carriagemoves back.

The work is accomplished in the following manner: The workman takes thewrapper and lays it over the brush a, as shown in Fig. 4, for thepurpose of removing from it any dust or sand that may be adhering. Hethen bonds the wrapper down into the groove 1), takes from the table thetobacco intended to be iuclosed and lays it in the groove on theWrapper. The next action is the rolling of the tobacco in the wrapper bymeans of the wrapping-apron F, which goes over the roller 01, which bytreading on the treadle is moved .forward, together with the carriage.Through this forward movement the apron lying in the hollow b andcontaining the tobacco-filler is drawn out, the contents are given arolling motion by the overlapping and forward moving bight of the apron,and at the same time the wrapper begins to lap over the filler informing the bunch or cigar. Now the brush enters into action, raises upthe end of the Wrapper and presses it gently against the roller. By afurther forward movement of the carriage the overleaf becomes entirelyrolled around the charge, and the whole is at the same time tightlyWrapped, and finally the finished article falls from the end of thetable to be held by the springs 72 91. By reverse motion of the treadleO with the foot the carriage, roller, brush, and Wrapping-cloth T0 areagain brought back to their startingpoint and the Work begins anew.

The brush is of great advantage, as it not only keeps the Wrapper freefrom dirt, butit acts principally in keeping, by means of the bristles,the leaf open, whereby the leaves of brittle tobacco are not torn and awrapping with the smallest leaf can be effected.

At the back of the roller there is attached a sieve B With a drawerunderneath.

What We claim is 1. In combination, the table, the apron, the carriageD, having the arms J, the roller d, and the automatieally-movable brusha, carried by the arms J, substantially as described.

2. In combination, the table, the apron, the carriage, the roller d, themovable brush, the arms J on the carriage, having guideways for themovable'brush, the elastic means 0 for moving the brush, and thestationary pins 9 for retaining said brush in forward position,substantially as described.

3. In combination, the table, the apron, the carriage having the arms.I, the roller d, mounted in the carriage, the guideways formed in thearms J of the carriage, a brush a, movable along said guideways, meansfor operating said brush, and the stops g, substantially as described.

In witness whereof We have hereunto set our hands in presence of twowitnesses.
